Patent EP-0922440-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOLAN JOHN W
IPC: A61C15/04
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: A dental floss holder includes a pair of arms, each arm having a middle
portion and first and second opposite end portions. The first end portion of
each arm curves outwardly away from its respective middle portion wherein the
middle portions of the arms are positioned proximate one another so as to
define a pivot. The second end portions are movable between a first position in
which the first end portions of the arms diverge away from one another, and a
second position in which the first end portions are moved toward one another.
Dental floss material has one end secured to the first end portion of one arm
and an opposite end secured to the first end portion of the other arm. The
dental floss material has a first tension when the first end portions are in their
spaced apart position and a second tension when the first end portions are
moved toward one another, said first tension being greater than the second
tension. Further embodiments of the dental floss holder are also
contemplated.

Abstract: Sigma-delta modulator in which the gain stage (20) of the input network and the gain stage (22) of the feedback network are regularly interchanged ('chopped'). This averages out the difference between the two gain stages, thus defining the gain of the system accurately. The difference in gain between the two gain stages is modulated on the chopping frequency, which may be outside the frequency band of interest. Furthermore, by using fully differential circuitry the chopping can be effected in such a manner that the offset and flicker noise of the two gain stages are modulated to the chopping frequency.

Abstract: In a method of transforming an input data block (IDB) comprising frequency coefficients (CF) into an output data block (ODB) comprising spatial coefficients, the following steps are carried out. For each frequency coefficient (CF) which is not zero, an individual block of spatial coefficients (IB) is established on the basis of pre-stored data (PSD). The pre-stored data (PSD) pertains to a spatial pattern associated with the frequency coefficient (CF). The individual blocks of spatial coefficients (IB) thus obtained are accumulated to obtain the output data block (ODB). The method allows a transformation of the inverse Fourier type, such as an inverse discrete cosine transform, for example, to be carried out with relatively little computational effort. The method is particularly suitable for use in video decoding applications.

Abstract: The engine has at least one inlet channel forming a spin channel and anther as a filling channel. The filling channel(s) has a choke controlled in its cross-section by an engine controller so that a large part of the charge passes to the cylinder via the spin channel when the inlet channel(s) is choked and the charge spin is increased. When the temp. of the fuel in the injection nozzle decreases, the charge spin in the cylinder increases and vice-versa. The spin is reduced depending on the increasing fuel temp. to about 15 per cent of maximum then held constant. An Independent claim is also included for a fast-running direct injection diesel engine.

Abstract: A video display apparatus comprises a plurality of display
devices (6) arrayed in a line with a predetermined interval at portions
which may be watched by passengers getting on a moving vehicle, a video
signal supplying device (9) for supplying a still picture video signal to the
plurality of display devices, and an intermittent display control means for
energizing the plurality of display devices simultaneously and controlling
a still picture video signal display time and a video display stop time at
such an interval as to obtain a clear picture. A video signal which
represents successive motions on the whole of a picture as seen from a
moving vehicle is supplied to respective display devices. Since a picture
is given by an electrical signal, it is sufficient that the contents of the
picture may be changed by rewriting the contents of a video memory.
Therefore, any pictures may be displayed, and a plurality of pictures may
also be displayed. Moreover, a memory device (7) stores a still picture
video signal comprising a plurality of programs having contents different
from each other. The programs are sequentially selected under control
of a control means (8), and a still picture video signal corresponding to a
selected program is supplied to the display device. Thus, a plurality of
pictures whose displayed contents are different from each other may be
switched and displayed each time a train, for example, passes the display
device.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de mise en place d'implants à l'intérieur du corps humain. La mise en place se fait au moyen d'une tige longue munie à son extrémité distale d'un mécanisme permettant d'introduire l'implant et de le maintenir sur la tige pendant le passage dans des vaisseaux et l'insertion de l'extrémité distale de la tige dans des tissus. Selon certains modes de réalisation, ces dispositifs sont conçus pour une pluralité d'implants dont ils assurent séquentiellement la mise en place en une pluralité de points. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, on trouve au niveau de l'extrémité distale un manchon extérieur souple qui est comprimé par fronçage et qui, en se détendant, vient s'engager dans la surface intérieure de l'implant. Un autre mode de réalisation fait intervenir une tige tubulaire de section circulaire sont certaines zone de section ovale viennent s'engager dans l'intérieur de l'implant monté sur la tige. Une came coulissant dans la tige prend dans les zones ovales, les distend et leur redonne une forme circulaire, ce qui permet de libérer les implants. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la force nécessaire à la mise en place s'obtient par pressurisation d'un liquide situé dans une lumière de la tige, lequel liquide déplace au niveau de l'extrémité distale de la tige un plongeur muni de l'implant à mettre en place. Une caractéristique propre à l'invention permet de contrôler la profondeur de mise en place de l'implant dans les tissus par surveillance des changements de pression survenus près de l'extrémité distale de la tige. Une autre caractéristique tient à la possibilité d'administrer des médicaments sur le site d'implantation en comprimant une vessie au moyen d'une autre vessie adjacente que l'on fait se dilater. L'invention concerne également un système de guidage électromagnétique permettant de conduire les dispositifs de mise en place avec précision jusqu'au site d'implantation.
